Do more of what makes You Happy !

This is my favourite season and month of the year. I just love December. December makes me just love it. Last year, the first day of this month I joined work and yes I am happy to have completed one year in my first job. J

At the end of every year, we may say that this year went by too fast but a year is actually quite long and especially when you are working your every working day is pretty looooooooong. Now imagine, you have a long working day so would you want to spend this day doing something you don’t like or doing something that you really like?

I am a Chartered Accountant, and working as an HR Consultant. The reason for this is because I wanted to be happy, and I could only be happy if I did something that I like or at least did not do things that I dint like and this is how I landed up here ( trust me, I have no regrets).

I know we live in a society where we need to create a name for ourselves, have peer pressure, pressure of earning enough to live a comfortable life, etc. ; but at what cost does one wants to achieve all this ? At the cost of your own happiness? Are we all not living to be happy? I agree sometimes circumstances are such that we are forced to do things to make ends meet but should we continue to do those things for eternity?

There is lot of risk involved in taking up and doing your own things, but to take a calculated risk towards it is a win-win thing. May be currently you are not doing what you like, you are in a situation where you cannot leave at the moment, but, you can start planning (the least of it) to take up something in future (if not now) that would keep you happy. One can start with the little things like taking up your hobbies since hobbies keep you happy because in that time frame you are doing things that truly make you happy.But the key thing is to do that very thing where your happiness lies (be it anything).

I truly believe that if you are happy, then only you can keep others happy and to be happy you need to start doing things that will keep you happy. I had attended a great internal workshop that spoke about what keeps the particular individual happy and I think it was a great success for people to have learnt about themselves and work accordingly towards what really keeps you going.

P.S. This blog is not meant for people to resign but just for them to think, think deeper- Are they truly happy in what they are doing? J
